2024 Italo Cescon Pinot Grigio Friuli Grave DOC
The Cescon family has been making wine in the Veneto since 1957, and their Pinot Grigio - recognisable by the small grapevine branch (il tralcetto) tied to each bottle's neck - is a classic, faithful expression of the variety. Crisp and dry, it reflects the cool, clay-rich soils of the Piave area between the Dolomites and the Adriatic.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Grigio.
Terroir: The Piave-Friuli Grave area in north-eastern Italy, with deep clay-rich soils and a cool, breezy climate moderated by Alpine and Adriatic influences.
Vinification: Cool fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperature, with short lees ageing to preserve aromatic precision.
COLOUR: Bright straw-yellow.
NOSE: Fragrant aromas of acacia blossom, ripe pear, apple and a subtle hint of nutmeg.
PALATE: Dry and crisp, with stone-fruit flesh, lifted acidity and a touch of orange zest on the finish.
FOOD PAIRING: Lovely with prosciutto and melon, garlic shrimp, light pasta and roast chicken. Serve at 8-10°C.
